Family Guy can be funny when they want to. One of the issues that hit the show is when Seth MacFarlane decided to use the show to push his political beliefs rather than just taking the safe route and making fun of everybody.

@IMAHAPYHIPPO: I actually quite like it it's almost a laugh a minute, the whole scenario of the show is just funny two brothers who are totally opposite to each other living together makes for some good laughs. Anyway each to their own. Just to mention I also like Seinfeld, frasier, curb your enthusiasm, everybody lives Raymond, Big Bang theory fresh prince of bel air.

The first few seasons of Family Guy were great. After that it did get worse though. It didn't necessairly lose the humor and there could still be funny moments and all, but some of the way they altered characters, rehashed certain jokes, and the more it started to focus more on being McFarlene's way to plug his politic beliefs in, the more excruciating it could become to watch inbetween the actually funny and amusing parts.

Just posted this for some friends on my fb, this show hasn't been good in years. I miss the humor from the earlier seasons, not the Seth MacFarlane forced political crap. Its just not funny anymore and it feels like a chore watching it.
